Today, my boyfriend refused to take me out on our three year anniversary because he was busy, "training to become a professional gamer." FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my boyfriend and I broke up. He said it was because he wanted to 'do his own thing'. So gaming 24/7 like he has for the past two years of our relationship, then. FML
Today, my boyfriend told me he wouldn't be able to cover his share of the rent because he didn't work during the week, saying business has been slow. I checked and found out he called in sick four times. He wanted to stay home and watch online gaming matches. FML
Today, it was my one year anniversary with my boyfriend. We had dinner reservations to an expensive restaurant and planned to see a movie after. At least, we did, until he called to tell me he'd volunteered to work tonight. He won't get off until 2am. FML
Today, my boyfriend broke up with me. He said it was because his online gaming friends don't like it when I ask him to spend time with me. FML
Today, my boyfriend broke up with me after 2 years of being together. The reason? I don't enjoy playing video games as much as he does. FML
Today, when my new boyfriend told me he liked playing games, he meant a 60" TV with a professional gaming chair in the middle of his living room, and 48-hour gaming marathons where he totally ignores me, refuses to sleep or shower, and only has energy drinks and cheerios. FML
Today, my boyfriend told me he wants to break up. But not until after our anniversary tomorrow, because he's already gotten dinner reservations for us. FML
Today, my boyfriend bailed on our one year anniversary celebration because his ex girlfriend asked him to go to a wedding with her and pose as her fake boyfriend. FML
Today, my boyfriend forgot to pick our son up from daycare. His excuse? Fighting in a battle in World of Warcraft was far more important and he had to stay absolutely focused. Our son had to wait for two hours. FML
Today, I decided to give my boyfriend one last chance at fixing our failing relationship. Instead of talking about how to fix our dying relationship, he decided to game all day and ignore me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I respect a man who know what he wants, and has lifetime goals. just like me

MLG is dumb. It's over rated if you ask me. But hey, a guy has to have his priorities straight. Becoming a professional gamer doesn't just happen over night.

Wow you need to find another boyfriend NEXT I wouldn't put up with that shit I mean I love video games too but not when it's more important then your ******* anniversary what a total douche

#30 Have you heard about the scripting language Lua? Used in all sorts of video games, digital television and other applications. Lua was, in fact, made in Brazil. That joke, "They have computers in (third world country X)", is outdated now. This is 2011, computers are everywhere there's electricity now, and many places where there's not, thanks to solar energy, the OLPC project &c. You may want to find something more high-end to joke about if you want to be an elitist #%&$@.

I would dump him because a 3 year anniversary is more important than becoming a MLG.

how the heck you deal with his gaming addiction in the past three, when he was still a NOOB.

you don't train to become a professional gamer, it just happens. I am the 19th in the world at NHL 2K9 on xbox 360 without hacking and have beaten hackers and the third best in the world. I am the only American in the top 20. represent

do yu have a love life? because it sounds like yu don't if you'd rather have video games to a gf/bf
Nyphythes 0
#173 judging by your photo and horrible spelling/grammar you seem like a thirteen year old so doubt you know everything about having a perfect relationship and as you say it "love life"
Nyphythes 0
so I doubt*
YacL 15
173- Yes, I would rather have video games than a BF/GF, love is stupid and I'll never understand it.

You can refuse his dick for some time.

If he training to be a gamer, do you really think they really had sex
dreamering 16
Gamer or no gamer, if you're not gay, someday your balls will turn blue and you want someone to take care of them.
DjeePee 25
I think that even gay people like someone who takes care after their balls. Just a thought.
TheDrifter 24
But the gay gamers can just roll a horde toon and find someone to take care of that for them.

CareFace 16
Games are always meant to come first; it's how you get the pussy. And his rank could grow legs and run away from him, also. Always remember that.
MrleClochard 4
Imagine his girlfriend growing legs... Haha.

Agree. But in his defense.. What if was actually training for professional gaming, where you set up practice with other pro gamers. (And I doubt they will wait for him, since there are ppl from around the world trying to find the best time for everyone). And.. If you win you could earn thousands of dollars.
theten_fml 9
should of pulled him in the car by his ear and made him go. take a gameboy just incase he gets cranky. oh! and maybe a warm bottle as well.

Well, hopefully you dumped him so he has all the precious time in the world to train.

I don't think they will end a 3 year relationship because he was playing a game?
melissamoshh 0
It was their anniversary? and he refused to go anywhere? That's pretty ****** up if you ask me. It's not as simple as "playing a game", asstard.
